First, I'd like to thank everyone that responded to my earlier questions, the information has been helpful. To recap, I'm looking at an '83 Westy with 82,000 miles on it. Here's what I just heard from the dealer, it sounds pretty good. The only worry is that the head gaskets were done 5 years ago, is that about how long they last? Recent: alternator oil change battery Oct 2000 clutch (flywheel, t/o bearing, etc) '97 Tires (not truck tires though, so they'll be replaced soon) '96 head gaskets ($$$) water pump Compression (done today) 160,160,170,170 -Craig |
